Global change and genomic biogeochemistry

Sources, transport, transformation and fate of the organic matter and contaminants in the ocean, continents and atmosphere at global scale. Transport and fate of organic pollutants to the Arctic and Antarctica. Influence of the semi-volatile and anthropogenic organic matter on the biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients driven by primary producers and bacterial communities. Gene expresion responses of bacteria and phytoplankton due to anthropogenic pollutants and nutrients. Interactions of the organic pollutants with other vectors of global change.
